The Necessity of Diligence in Work

Proverbs 27:23-27

Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:

For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.

The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.

Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.

Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
